The presence of God is revealed when we walk out of our captivity.
(Sometimes we go back into captivity by our problems)
Exodus 13:17-22
John 5:19
Presence of God:
vs. 21 Day- pillar of cloud
Night- pillar of fire
vs. 22 the pillar NEVER left the Israelites
Genesis 15:17-18
The Covenant
1. Saved
2. Walk with God daily (in His presence)
3. God walks us into a fire/battle
Exodus 14:1-13
vs. 18
- Perception is not reality
- It's not what we wear to battle but who is in us
"They were dressed and armed for battle" (NIV)
Exodus 14:1-4
PRIDE
Pharaoh will think the Israelites are wandering the land in confusion vs. 3
God hardened Pharaoh's heart! vs. 4 and 8
- vs. 4 He said He would
- vs. 8 He did
Sometimes God lets us get in a trap so we DON'T run!!!
God will speak in the middle of all the confusion
What is in front of us can be just as scary as what is behind us
God gave us armor so we could walk with Him and we're not even going to use it for battle.
Only when we stand still will God let us stand on eagle's wings, run and not grow weary, rund and not grow faint. But when we run, God has to come catch us.
CONFUSION __________________ death
in front behind
He provides a way out!!! ALWAYS!
vs. 24 "The Lord looked down at the Egyptian army and threw them into confusion."
Red Sea= confusion (KAOS)
Exodus 15
vs. 1 They sang praises
vs. 3 The Lord is a warrior
(Selah= pause)
(Stand still...PAUSE)
THERE IS NO ONE ELSE FOR ME BUT JESUS
